Measure around the head where the helmet maker's sizing guide specifies, then compare the result with the chart for the exact helmet model. A size label alone does not confirm fit: check the adjustment system, visor clearance and the maker's fit instructions before use.
Helmet sizing is model-specific. Follow the maker’s measurement diagram and try-on steps, then check that the helmet remains positioned as intended when fastened. Cricket equipment regulations and product labels provide separate information about the helmet’s construction and approved use.
